So it's no secret that I hate 4/20. Ten thousand people are flooding the campus today for the sole purpose of smoking some weed on Norlin Quad. They call it a protest, but no one gives any speeches, no one carries any signs, and no arguments are made for the legalization of marijuana. If anything, the event itself is an argument for why marijuana should continue to be a controlled substance, as apparently those who smoke it are inconsiderate, self-entitled, rowdy morons not capable of using a recreational drug in a responsible manner.
So about half of campus reeks from the massive cloud of smoke hanging over the quad. They'll be leaving their trash all over the quad, too, rendering it unusable for the rest of us until someone goes out there and cleans it up. And gee, who pays for that? Is it the out-of-towners who come in and encourage this nonsense? Of course not. It comes out of the tuition of all the students at this school, regardless of whether we participate in this asshattery.
Word was it was going to rain today, but it cleared up now that we're nearing 4:20 PM, when the event gets going at its strongest. Too bad. I wish the police would hand out more citations for this crap, but I think they're afraid of starting a riot. As it is they're just keeping an eye on things and ticketing anyone they catch with a joint outside of the main clump on the quad.
